title: npm-docs
section: 1
description: Open documentation for a package in a web browser
---
### Synopsis
```bash
npm docs [<pkgname> [<pkgname> ...]]
alias: home
```
### Description
This command tries to guess at the likely location of a package's
documentation URL, and then tries to open it using the
[`--browser` config](/using-npm/config#browser) param. You can pass multiple
package names at once. If no package name is provided, it will search for a
`package.json` in the current folder and use the `name` property.
### Configuration
#### `browser`
* Default: OS X: `"open"`, Windows: `"start"`, Others: `"xdg-open"`
* Type: null, Boolean, or String
The browser that is called by npm commands to open websites.
Set to `false` to suppress browser behavior and instead print urls to
terminal.
Set to `true` to use default system URL opener.
#### `registry`
* Default: "https://registry.npmjs.org/"
* Type: URL
The base URL of the npm registry.
#### `workspace`
* Default:
* Type: String (can be set multiple times)
Enable running a command in the context of the configured workspaces of the
current project while filtering by running only the workspaces defined by
this configuration option.
Valid values for the `workspace` config are either:
* Workspace names
* Path to a workspace directory
* Path to a parent workspace directory (will result in selecting all
workspaces within that folder)
When set for the `npm init` command, this may be set to the folder of a
workspace which does not yet exist, to create the folder and set it up as a
brand new workspace within the project.
This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.
#### `workspaces`
* Default: null
* Type: null or Boolean
Set to true to run the command in the context of **all** configured
workspaces.
Explicitly setting this to false will cause commands like `install` to
ignore workspaces altogether. When not set explicitly:
- Commands that operate on the `node_modules` tree (install, update, etc.)
will link workspaces into the `node_modules` folder. - Commands that do
other things (test, exec, publish, etc.) will operate on the root project,
_unless_ one or more workspaces are specified in the `workspace` config.
This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.
#### `include-workspace-root`
* Default: false
* Type: Boolean
Include the workspace root when workspaces are enabled for a command.
When false, specifying individual workspaces via the `workspace` config, or
all workspaces via the `workspaces` flag, will cause npm to operate only on
the specified workspaces, and not on the root project.
This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.
